AGDQ 2017: Helping prevent cancer without standing in front of a moving shuttle! - General

[QUOTE=Weirdo009;51641440]Why is "Greetings from Germany" in the title exactly? I thought OP was German but his profile says he isn't, the event is American too.[/QUOTE] Because so many of the donations they read start with that I'm guessing

"Brownman" was top for filename in Shovel Knight with 140$ and a minute later "Bonesaw" was top with 325$ lol

Wow, this event is even more of a shitshow than last year's was, and within the first few runs too. Glad that word is getting out about the shittiness too. The only good chain of events here would be for AGDQ to slowly peter out and die, and for another comfy event to take its place. I just want the comfy fun of the first few years.

It annoys me that the stream on the right has a lower framerate than the one on the left.

[QUOTE=Cmx;51641619]It annoys me that the stream on the right has a lower framerate than the one on the left.[/QUOTE] TO ruin it further, a friend pointed out there's a slight colour difference between the two screens too. Hope you enjoy the rest of the run!

Woah, didn't expect that the news of this ban would rile up some of the bigger YouTubers. I normally don't like drama but I really hope this causes a shitshow tbh.

[QUOTE=e_k_M;51640794]it was canadian airlines and when GDQ apologized they said that they didnt even notice the spam. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bG6hPJpxzm4[/media] im still going to watch it but i wont donate like last year[/QUOTE] Seriously, what the fuck is their obsession with Prevent Cancer? It would be like "Oh we're supporting Breast Cancer Research, thus Susan G Komen foundation will be getting everything." You picked like the [I]worst[/I] out of the possibilities.

I mean it's goofy and all, but this is what I miss from the older GDQ marathons: [t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/znvqypRiEXA/maxresdefault.jpg[/t] It was just a more laid-back environment and people could wear stupid costumes if they wanted to. They did the whole Pepsi Man thing at the last marathon, but I'm sure that required some fairly heavy approval beforehand.

Unless they're so far gone that they really don't give a shit about the charity anymore and just want to run their stupid safespace into the ground they'll fire whoever is deciding to ban runners over stupid shit already.

[QUOTE=Cmx;51641789][media]https://twitter.com/Cyberdemon531/status/818206245542825985[/media] Uh oh[/QUOTE] If they throw a live riot or some shit during the stream this just might be the best AGDQ ever.

I skimmed the thread on r/speedrun and he even did a mass shooting joke at last year. Just seems like he wants attention.

[QUOTE=Cmx;51641789][media]https://twitter.com/Cyberdemon531/status/818206245542825985[/media] Uh oh[/QUOTE] Apparently he got banned for being the one who recorded the confrontation at one of the staff members posted last page

[QUOTE=Joshii;51641821]Apparently he got banned for being the one who recorded the confrontation at one of the staff members posted last page[/QUOTE] How the fuck do you get banned for recording shit like that. That's some shady shit. [editline]8th January 2017[/editline] Please wait until after Shovel Knight to riot. That's one of the only runs I want to see.

The words "thicc" "cosmo" and "ANELE" have been banned from Twitch chat.

Because the people who run AGDQ are blithering morons. Every year something happens and it was up to the runners to do a fantastic job holding it together.

I can't blame them one bit for not taking chances with what the IRS decides counts as a political endorsement.

So is this year like the drama special or something?

[QUOTE=Waffle cones.;51641870]every year is the drama special at agdq/sgdq[/QUOTE] I don't remember that being a thing during the one I watched (the very first one)

I still want to know what the fuck is happening in Room 500.

I remember when some anon on 8chan donated to the last AGDQ with the name vivan james they read the name and stops/stream stopped and never read the donation notes. her name was in the donation list but got removed later

[QUOTE=The Civ;51641883]I still want to know what the fuck is happening in Room 500.[/QUOTE] I'm assuming nothing since nobody is saying anything about it and it's not present in the stream.

[QUOTE=paul simon;51641876]I don't remember that being a thing during the one I watched (the very first one)[/QUOTE] Up until '13, and even '14 really, the event was pretty fun. Then the owners started selling out, and there's been drama, safe spaces, and shady stuff going on since. It seems to increase tenfold each year too. At some point it's just gonna implode upon itself and collapse.

[QUOTE=The Civ;51641883]I still want to know what the fuck is happening in Room 500.[/QUOTE] Maybe someone's wife is sleeping with a bunch of dudes again.
